it was broadly used. a reporter at cnn put an ad on of this kind and got 15 responses in three hours. we talked to constuents. we looked at craigslist. it was clear that it was massive in terms of the opportunity for prostitution. it's not just prostitution. it's human trafficking. the terrible, terrible abuse of children. so whatever efforts that they were making to keep people off that would do these things, they were failing. maybe necessarily were failing. but it was clear, i think, to most everybody that this was a huge source of the information that leads to prostitution and in some cases human trafficking. >> woodruff: john miller, do you dispute that that's what's been going on at craigslist? >> no. it's probably pretty likely these ads were for prostitution. the question is not, are these ads for illegal services and should law enforcement take action against these ads and the people placing them? but the question is really is this the most effective way to do that? we're not sure that it is. als

what does history tell us? >> i think there is some concern about donor fatigue for a couple of reasons. one because the economy is, you know, weaker than it has been at other times. on the other hand, we saw disaster relief giving for haiti turn out to be quite strong. quite sustained for many months. so that doesn't tell the whole story. i mean i think that's part of it. in fact, perhaps some of the haiti relief giving is part of the donor fatigue. on the other hand, i think that general when americans give, the average gift has ranged between $125 and $135 per household for different disasters. so the gifts tend to be relatively small. a lot of people giving a relatively small amount. in fact the gift for all the disasters we've track has been $are 50. you know that most people can spend $50 in a lot of different ways so it's not as if people are refinancing their house in order to give these disaster relief gifts. that's not to disparage those gifts. it's just to say that they're relatively small amounts. f
